Are agile and architecture old friends who had grown estranged meeting up again after years apart? Read about Simon Rohrer's journey for over two decades juggling the concepts of these two worlds. Join him at a conference in October for more. agile-meets-architecture.com/essays/new-acq…

"A building is not something you finish. A building is something you start." Stewart Brand Software is never "done" (until it's out of production)

How come people dont talk about Kotlin more? It’s like a nice version of Java 🫣

We need a new approval process to really nail quality, the Review Board Review Board. All decisions by the CAB or Architecture Review Board must be approved by the RBRB, whose members must come from areas as far removed from the work as possible to maintain objectivity.

This is a paper I post every six months as it is worth rereading; the 18 reasons complex systems fail. Complex systems fail for complex reasons, and only adaption & learning by organizations, as well as individual "actions on the sharp end" keep us safe. researchgate.net/publication/22…

Shifting from siloed work breakdown structures to aligning with outcomes 🌟

Putting in a word for Kotlin. Like Java, but a pleasure to code in and less wasteful

Why do we talk about shadow IT and never shadow finance, shadow HR, shadow customer support, shadow marketing etc? All those functions are most definitely creeping outside their silos and no one seems to mind.

David Jevons paradox, red queen effect for staff & costs, lack of awareness for waste and the cleaning up legacy is wishful thinking.
